These photos were taken in three different ryokan, but that doesn’t matter as the purpose is an overview.

Tatami
Here are two video clips made by two different American companies to promote a stay in a ryokan. One is a young gentleman who speaks perfect Japanese, and the other is a young lady who shows what a stay in an elegant inner city ryokan could be like.

Futon 布団 ふとん
Wardrobe 押入れ おしいれ
Tokonoma 床の間 とこのま
Tokonoma 床の間 とこのま
This is a very traditional Japanese-style room. Perhaps what is unusual is the double tokonoma spaces. Usually one is used as a おしいれ (oshiire), or storage space for ふとん (futon) bedding. However, the usual かけじく (scroll) and ぼんさい(bonsai plant) are there. The tatami is beautiful with the desk and the cushions (ざぶとん). Usually there would be soft cushions; in summer a cooler type may be used. On he right hand side one can just see the sliding door (ふすま). The light (でんき) is the typical neon light, which tends to stay on all day long!
